- Master classes/lectures where the knowledge to be acquired by the student will be exposed. There will be class notes available and basic textbooks will be recommended both for following the subject and to continue knowledge downstream. - Problem and question solving by the students for self-evaluation and to acquire the abilities required. - Exposure and discussion of resolving problems that are proposed to the students. - Laboratory practicals and/or in computer halls, where the student can experiment on the concepts and results of the theory presented in the lectures. - Direct observation of the technology of thermal machines and engines in the laboratory.
